Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. D. G. Sept. %, 1851
[From our Regular Correspondent. -
As an echo of the Constitutional Cen
tenial, I may with propriety refer to the
widely circulated newspaper report Of
the snub administered BY Mrs. Cleve-
land to the ferocious Foraker, of Ohio,
at her reception, or rather the Presi-
dents. of the several Governors. That
the first lady of the Ian gave the Ohio
Governor good snubbing there seems
to be little reason to doubt, and beyond
question he deserved such cool treat
ment for his coarse insults heaped upon
the President. And, besides, Mrs. Cleve-
land only followed her husbands ex-
ample, for President Cleveland himself
snubbed Foraker by emitting to acknowl-
edge that officials recent invitation to
visit the Ohio Capital during his pro.
jected Western tour. And this reminds
me that the Hon. Thos. E. Powell, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, met with kindly reception dur
ing his visit to the Capital this week,
and gave most encouraging report oil
the political outlook in his state. from a
Democratic standpoint,
One day this week the President and
Secretary Bavard were in close and
lengthy consultation, and it is surmised

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
A Deer Lodge Husband Kills his Wife
and Shoots Himself.

DEER LODGE NJ. T.. September o7.-
Especial to the Herald. IA horrible
double tragedy was enacted here this
morning and is the sensation Of the sea
son. W. Miller, day lsborer, shot ard
killed his wife in the office of the Scott
House and then shot himself. The par
ticulars of the affair, as far a. can be
l,arned, are as follows:
Miller and bis wife haze been here
several years, having come out from
Ohio. The man was about 40 years of
age and ;he woman So. OF late years
Miller has been hard drlnker and his
wife has been Obliged to work out, owing
to his dissi pated habits. Some months
ago Mrs. Miller got place as housrkeep-
er at the Scott House, where she was
working at the time of the murder. For
months past there has been trouble be-
tween the pair, due, it is supposed, to
Millers suspicious that his wife was un-
faithful to her marriage VOWS, and fire.
quent family rows have been the r, suit. d.
1t is 81 id that Miller ,ed her of in.
fidelity tn him and Threatened her for as.
socialing with other men. Whether
these charges had or had not substantial
grounds isnot known.
For few days past Miller had been
on big spree and lust night drank
heavily This morning few minutes
past eight o'clock he went to the Scott
House an,tcalled his wife into the Office.
When she can in he began abusing her
in angry tones and whilst threatening
her with dire punishment drew re.
volver.
The woman screamed, sprang at him
and endeavored to take the weapon away
from him, but Miller pulled the trigger
as she grasped for the pistol and dis
charged the revolver at close quarters,
The ball entered her stomach and she
fell to the floor Miller then darted
through the office and out the back door
into the yard, where he pressed the re-
volver to his own breast and fired. The
ball entered his body near the heart and
he dropped dead on the instant.
Meanwhile the woman had been pick
ed up and carried in the parlor, where
she died five minutes later. sitting in a
chair.
Some say the murderer shot his wife
twice, but this cannot be asertaincd at
present. The bodies are in charge of
the corner, who will hold an in inquest
upon them this afternoon.
The couple had been married several
years, but leave no children.

Willard to the Front.

Willard is coming to the front again as
president of the Oregon and Transcon-
tinental. This company he founded; it
was the offspring of his own single in
yention, his expedient for getting money
for rapid completion Of tile Northern Pa.
cific. But for Willard and his scheme of
Transrontinental, completion of the
Northern Pacific would have been post-
poned at least five years further. He
got by Transcontinental many millions
and put them into the road, and then
borrowed still more millions on the
credit of Transcontinental and put them
in; finally the structure of..credlt toppled
over. But it was great conception, and
the failure did not cost him the confid.
ence of German capitalists, millions o.
whose money have again been placed In
his hands for Investment in the United
States.-Portland Oregonian.

RerOrmers And RefOrmers.

The world of to-day is affi icted with a
surfeit ofromantic and impetuous reform
ers. Some of these build their air.
castles and weave their lotees dreams in
honesty and sincerity. while others are
rascals and hvpocrites, living by their
wits and levying tribute on the credulity
of their fellowmen. Still, they appear
to have certain characteristics in coma
mon, among which is a curious species
of egotism which prompts them to con-
slider themselves wiser and better than
other people and especially commissioned
to readjust the affairs of earth as the
viceregents Of heaven. They are ess en-

Hitherto the Northern Pacific has had
no active opposition. The arrangement
between that road and the Union Pacific
for the division Of Montana business
has prevente it. Bat now, fortunately
for Montana, thu end of the exclusive

it will reach Helena. Before another

Willard again to the Front.

The recent election of directors of the
Northern Pacific railroad was ,mething
of a surprise. 1t was known that an ef
fort would be made to defeat the old
management; but only very recently was
it seen that Henry Willard had {; hand in
the game. Backed by German capitalists
he has recently acquired n large interest
in the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co a,
and when the Northern Pacific election
took place, it was f1nnl that he and his
friends controlled u majority of the stock
voted. There was no open fight, how
ever, and a compromise ticket was elect
ed, by which Willard and several other
representatives of his interest entered
the board. The old officers were re-eleet-
ed except Gen. Anderson, but it is gen.
orally understood that they will only re-
main temporarily.
The meaning of the election is un-
doubtedly that Henry Willard will again
become the controlling spirit in the
management of the road. There can be
no question that this change is rause Tor
congratulation TO Montana The old
management has been in the interest of
certain sections and certain men, The
road has been permitted to run down
Ties, timbers and rails have not been
renewed, as they should have been and
the force of men employed has been in
sufficient to keep the road in repair and
watch the track properly. 1t is notori-
GUS that high officials have devoted their
greatest energy to feathering their own
nests by securing interests in towns;te
companies, in building contracts, in mer-
camille companies etc, and of course
their official action has been influenced
by their private interests.
We believe that under the new man
agement stop will be put to this, an,
for the best interests of the. road it i
high time, that such should be the case
